Best of the Rest

beauty products nivea garnier bed head revlon the balm trilogy carmex burts bees

Hi everyone, I have the last in my “series” of colour posts today featuring a mixture or ombre if you will of shades! I might come back to these in the future at some point as I’ve loved doing them!

Nivea Powerfruit Fresh Shower Gel with Revitalizing Acai Berry

I actually won this in a giveaway on Instagram a few months ago and I can’t get over how good it smells! I love Nivea Shower Gels but hadn’t tried this scent before and I’m obsessed! It’s so refreshing and it smells seriously amazing!

Garnier Express 2 in 1 Eye Makeup Remover

This is probably a product you are sick of hearing me harp on about if you are a regular visitor here! It is a constant repurchase for me as it’s so effective at removing waterproof eye makeup while being super gentle! The bi phase solution works effortlessly to get my mascara and eyeshadow off in no time and I couldn’t be without this!

Bedhead Small Talk

I've had this for ages but don’t think I’ve ever spoken about it before! Not sure why as its one of my favourite hair products! I love the fruity scent but I love how thick and healthy it makes my hair look and feel more! It makes my split ends virtually disappear until my next wash and it doesn’t weigh my hair down despite being a cream!

Wet n Wild Megalast Salon Nail Colour in Through the Grapevine

This is unlike any other colour in my nail polish stash and one I love to put on my toenails! Lasting power is great and it’s such a lovely bright purple perfect for summer!

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Lovers Coral

This is probably my favourite lipstick ever and it features in a recent post about my most used makeup! It’s a corally pink colour in a shine formulation so it gives just a light hint of colour to my lips but really brightens up my face and doesn’t cling to dry patches! It does need to be topped up quite regularly throughout the day but doesn’t leave an outline mark round my lips and can easily be applied without a mirror!

Revlon Colourstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel in Pocket Aces

This is such a gorogeus, vibrant colour for summer! I don’t really wear colours like this on my finger nails but I love them on my toenails!

Carmex Lip Balm

This is my favourite overnight lip treatment and one I always come back to, I way prefer it to the likes of Nuxe Reve de Miel and find it works so effectively on my lips to keep them hydrated overnight!

Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

Ah, my favourite lip balm ever and I usually have 2 or 3 open at the same time dotted around the place or in my handbag! I love the minty scent and I find it really sorts out my dry lips and keeps them hydrated for a lot longer than other lip products!

Bourjois So Laque Nail Enamel in Rouge Escarpin

Everyone needs a classic red nail polish in their collection and this is mine! It’s a really bright red shade and I love it!

The Balm Bahama Mama Bronzer

This is a product I have been showing a lot more love since I was picking out the items for this post! It’s a gorgeous deep matte brown shade that I use mainly to contour with! It’s so pigmented but looks so natural when it’s blended in and I find the packaging sturdy even though it’s cardboard!

Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

I talked about this product recently too in my five things I’m loving post and it’s one of my favourite skincare products! It really helps with hydration and scarring issues I have with my skin and it’s a product I look forward to applying as I know my skin will look better in the morning for it!

What do you think of the products I’ve picked out? Did you enjoy this colour “series”?

Nyx and Wet n Wild Haul

Nyx Wet n Wild haul blush eyeliner lipstick eye shadow

I went a little mad. A lot mad. I had actually only got half of this then went back for more that's why there's a dirty great fingerprint in the bronzer/blushers! A spending ban is long overdue. Anyway here's what I got!

Nyx Bronzer and Blusher combo in BBC02 Ibiza and BBC03 Marbella

In a perfect world I would have bought one with a matte blusher and matte bronzer but they didn’t have one like that hence why I bought two! I’ll use the shimmery blush and bronzer more in the summer but matte shades are my favourite!

Nyx powder blush in PB01 Mocha

I have one of these blushers and I LOVE it, it’s in the shade Dusty Rose which is a bit lighter than this and both are matte! It gives a lovely flush of colour to the face and is pigmented but not too pigmented!

Nyx Round Lipstick in 628 Tea Rose

This is fast becoming my new favourite lipstick; it gives a lovely pink colour to the lips, is nicely pigmented and lasts a decent amount of time without touch ups!

Nyx Eye and Eyebrow Pencil in Black Brown

I haven’t tried this in my brows but it’s nice and soft for using to line my eyes and a nice dark brown colour.

Coloricon Brow and Eye Liner in Bark Brown

Again I haven’t tried this in my brows but it’s pigmented and doesn’t drag when I line my upper eyelid! It also has a long pencil/handle which I find good for controlling where you put the liner!

Wet n Wild MegaLast Lip Colour in Just Peachy, Rose-bud and Mauve Outta Here

I love the colours of these lipsticks and they are so pigmented on the lips too! However they are really drying and even after using a lip scrub they show up any dry skin on the lips! I’ve taken to putting a light layer on then go over this with a clear lip balm like Carmex to give a little extra moisture and gloss!

Wet n Wild Comfort Zone

This palette is so pigmented and so cheap! I hope you can see that from the swatches I’ve done!

I would have loved for there to be a few matte shades to use through the crease but I can’t complain too much as the quality of the shadows is amazing!

The bottom right shade is so different to anything else I own, it’s quite duo chrome!

MegaLast Salon Nail Colour in Through the Grapevine

Nice bright colour that lasts ages on my toenails and gives a really high shine finish! It’s also opaque in one layer and has a handy wide brush that coats the nails quickly!

I have a few other bits and pieces from both these brands that I’ve had for longer so if you’d like to see what else I have let me know :)

What’s your favourite Nyx or Wet n Wild product or what would you most like to try from the brands?
